George Stephanopoulos Likely a Cousin of Hillary Clinton. George: ‘You’re Putting Me On!’

Today on “Good Morning America” George Stephanopoulos found out he may be a cousin of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. The news was revealed by Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. Gates is hosting a series on PBS next month called “Faces of America” which reveals the genealogy of several notable Americans.

The revelation got a laugh in the GMA studio and surprised Stephanopoulos.

Stephanopoulos worked in the first Bill Clinton administration.
